Makeup: Golden Eye (and Cheek)

Fenty Puma

If you're a firm believer that more is more when it comes to highlighter, you're not alone. Makeup artists at shows like Fenty Puma, Derek Lam, and Versace upgraded the usual touch of shimmer by saturating cheekbones in golden highlighter and adding it to the eyes and cupid's bow for good measure. To get a dramatic dose of sparkle, copy makeup artist James Kaliardos' technique, who layered on multiple shades of highlighter at Fenty Puma. Try adding Fenty Beauty Match Stix Shimmer Skinsticks in Confetti in a 'C' shape from your brow bone down your cheekbones and top it off with Fenty Beauty Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter in Trophy Wife for more depth.

Color Bursts

Missoni

Spring/Summer '18 proved there are a variety of ways to work more color into your makeup look. From bold bursts of color on the eyes like the purple and pink mix at Area or the graphic pastel shades at Missoni to more subtle looks like the neon liner at Delpozo, we've got you covered. Try using an electric-colored eyeliner at the inner corners of your eyes or in a traditional cat eye shape for an everyday pop, or go all out by recreating Lynsey Alexander's look at Missoni. To get soft shades of blue, purple, and green, Lynsey mixed MAC Cosmetics Acrylic Paints in Pure White with Hi-Def Cyan, Rich Purple, or Landscape Green before painting slightly above the eye socket in a dome shape that was then winged out.

Statement Lips

Dolce & Gabbana

From bright pinks and orange-reds to darker crimson and berry shades usually reserved for fall, the spring/summer shows saw them all — the Dolce & Gabbana runway even gave models varying takes on the bold lip. You can copy the orange-red matte lip at Alice Temperley with Charlotte Tilbury's Hot Lips Lipstick in Tell Laura (the exact shade makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury painted on models). Or try something even more head-turning with a custom combo like the red matte metallic lip Gucci Westman created at Badgley Mischka by mixing INGLOT Matte Lipstick in #229, #408, and #438.

Exaggerated Cat Eyes

Marc Jacobs

We've watched the traditional cat eye evolve into something much more dramatic over the past few seasons, and spring/summer '18 saw plenty of bold options to DIY. At Marc Jacobs, Diane Kendal used multiple formulas from the Marc Jacobs Beauty line in blacquer to create custom winged eyes, while at Tom Ford, Pat McGrath created a more bubble-shaped cat eye that was topped off with matching dark glittery eyeshadow.

Metal Moment

Topshop

Not only are glitter eyes an instant mood booster, they also popped up all over the spring/summer '18 runways. You can try a full metallic look like the models at BCBG Max Azria, whose lids were painted with Stila Cosmetics Glitter & Glow Liquid Eyeshadow in Jezebel by makeup artist Sarah Lucero. Or strategically place your sparkle like the silvery vertical lines Pat McGrath created at Anna Sui and the outer eye shimmer Lynsey Alexander gave the models at Topshop.

Extreme Sparkle

Stella Jean

There's glitter makeup, and then there are the glitter looks on the runway that could be seen from miles away. Whether it was the "after-party lips" Lucy Burt created at Shrimps, the rhinestone traced eyes Peter Philips tried at Dries Van Noten, or the kind of crazy, kind of cool LED eyes Isamaya Ffrench dreamt up at Christian Cowan, there are plenty of ways to shine.

Emporio Armani

If pastels aren't your thing, there were plenty of darker eye makeup options that were created by mixing shades of black with shimmering royal blue and emerald green for an oil-like finish. You can create your own custom look by mixing Dior Metalizer Eyeshadow shades like makeup artist Peter Philips did at Fendi, or try mixing the Giorgio Armani Beauty Eye Tint in Obsidian and Jade like makeup artist Linda Cantello did at Emporio Armani.

All Tied Up

Fenty Puma
'90s hair accessories are back, but with a modern update. While Laurent Philippon kept things simple and elegant at Mansur Gavriel by adorning smooth low ponytails with a colorful scrunchie, Yusef made things a little more fun at Fenty Puma with neon ties woven through updos.

Embrace Your Natural Texture

Alexander Wang
Whether your hair is straight with just a hint of wave or full of texture, the biggest hair trend to take the spring/summer 2018 runways was embracing what you've got. At Versus Versace, Eugene Souleiman used Wella styling products and GHD tools to enhance every models' natural look – from buzz cuts and shoulder-length curls to long, straight hair.

Messy Low Knot

Badgley Mischka
Effortless updos replaced more structured looks, with designers embracing a messy knot placed at the nape of the neck. To get the look at Creatures of the Wind, Holli Smith prepped hair with Bumble and Bumble Thickening Hairspray and Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray for texture and grip. Then, she gathered the hair into a low ponytail and twisted it into a bun, leaving any pieces that fell out as she secured with an elastic.

Shower Hair

Prabal Gurung
Wet hair isn't disappearing anytime soon, so if you have yet to master the look, take a page out of Anthony Turner's book. He created the just-out-of-the-swimming-pool hair at Prabal Gurung by applying Wella Professionals EIMI Sculpt Force gel from the front of the head to just around the top of the ear. To work the product through the hair for the wet finish, Anthony used a wide-tooth comb and finished the look by wrapping the length of the hair around a curling iron and misting the hair with Wella Professionals EIMI Glam Mist.

Play with Color

Alexander Wang
At Fendi, Sam McKnight's mix of blue and green "petrol bangs" were hand-dyed but faux. Meanwhile, shows like Alexander Wang called for the real deal by having colorist Josh Wood create a custom pink and lilac mix for Stella Lucia, which he called rose quartz.

Spell It Out

Preen by Thornton Bregazzi
Preen sent its models down the runway with bold statements (thanks to press-on stickers sealed with a top coat), but other designers chose to have their models sport the brand's logo as they rocked the runway.
